No, I'm pretty sure not.

Nice! I may get a suppressor once this rifle is built but I will prolly wait to SBR for another build.

I am collecting parts for an SBR. I just wanted to get a suppressor out of the way first.

No, barrel and can length are considered separate. For instance, consider barrels with integral suppressors.

Yes it does. But if you've got a 10.5" barrel, and a 1.5" muzzle brake, you've still got only 12" of barrel; too short of a barrel to escape NFA.

I'm actually in the process of putting together the list of parts for my own suppressed SBR build, with help from my son - who works for a Class III dealer/manufacturer. I'm using a 11.5" barreled upper from Aero Precision on a Spikes Tactical Gen 2 billet lower. I'm building my own can.....legally, no less. Not counting the tax stamp (which you still have to pay), it only runs $150 or so in parts, instead of $600-$1000. You can do it at home, and it works beautifully. BONUS POINTS: you e-file it through BATF's website on a Form 1 which only takes 30 days to complete, instead of on a Form 4 which can take 6 months or more.
